THE DISABLED HEIRESS, MY EX-HUSBAND WOULD PAY DEARLY.
Chapter 59

Chapter 59: Chapter 59

It was the next day...At James’s luxurious mansion, chaos erupted from the living room.

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!"

James’s voice tore through the house like thunder. He wasn’t just shouting — he was losing his mind.

He threw his phone across the couch and turned sharply to face Serena, his new girlfriend, who looked completely confused.

He was still wearing his robe, hair unkempt, veins visibly pulsing from his neck.

Emily blinked, "Babe, calm down! What’s going on? You’re scaring me."

James ignored her. He picked up the printed reports his assistant had rushed to send over earlier and waved them in the air.

"This right here! My biggest investor suddenly pulled out the entire investment overnight and converted everything into shares! Do you even know what that means?!"

Emily’s mouth opened slightly. "Wait... Converted? Into shares?"

"Yes! Into goddamn shares!" James screamed, nearly pulling his hair. "Do you know what this means?! It means I have no control anymore! It means someone else someone owns more of my company than I do!"

He started pacing fast, talking like a madman, ZXZ Enterprise, The company he built from nothing.

The company he poured every resource, every contact, every sleepless night into—was now slipping from his fingers like sand.

He clenched his fists, trembling. His eyes were red with frustration, not because he didn’t know who was behind this...but because he did, and that was what scared him the most.

Because if she had the power to do this in just one move...Then she was ready for war.

His voice broke again, louder and more desperate, "How?! How is that even possible?!"

At that moment, Emily stood frozen. Her fingers were trembling as she clutched the tablet that displayed the latest report.

"This is really bad," she whispered, then raised her voice, her face pale. "This is extremely bad! James, what are we going to do now? How do we fix this? How can we turn this around?"

She started pacing the room as anxiety filled her chest. "We have to act fast. We can’t let this continue to spiral. Whoever did this—who is this person anyway?!"

James didn’t respond immediately.

He stood still in the middle of the room, his eyes blank, as if his soul had left his body. He looked like a man who had just watched everything he ever worked for begin to crumble beneath his feet.

Emily’s voice rose. "James! Say something!"

"I don’t know," he muttered.

"What do you mean you don’t know?!"

James turned slowly to face her, his voice strained. "I said I don’t know! It’s just... the money came in a long time ago... about a year or two. It was huge, almost 100 billion dollars."

Emily gasped slightly, her jaw dropping. "You took 100 billion dollars and you didn’t check the source?!"

"I did!" James snapped, frustrated. "Back then, I thought it was a lucky break. A silent investor. The money came with no interest, no demand for regular reporting, no involvement in management. It was like free money. Too good to be true."

"And you didn’t think that was suspicious?!"

At that moment James ignored her tone as his mind started to spin. His brows furrowed suddenly as something stirred in the back of his memory.

Then it hit him, his eyes widened as the realization washed over him like a bucket of cold water.

"There were... clauses I remember now," he whispered.

Immediately Emily stopped moving. "What clauses?"

"There were clauses in the contract," James said slowly, each word dragging like lead. "Before I was given that $100 billion. I signed... that at a certain point under specific conditions that investment could be converted into company shares."

Upon hearing what James just said Emily stared at him in disbelief.

"It didn’t seem dangerous back then," James added, almost talking to himself now. "Because the money didn’t come with interest or strings attached. I thought it was just a backup capital..."

At that moment he sank slowly onto the couch, his voice now barely above a whisper.

"I never thought... this company would come this far."

He blinked hard.

"I never knew it would be able to come this far."

At that moment, James clenched his jaw tightly, biting down hard on his lower lip until he could taste blood. His hands balled into fists beside him. The fury boiling inside wasn’t just from being blindsided—it was from the painful realization that he had been playing right into someone else’s plan from the very beginning.

His voice was strained as he muttered to himself, "I was going to use the contract money from The Victor..."

Then his eyes narrowed with rage.

"That was my only plan—to repay this massive investment and reclaim full control of the company in the future. That fund was my exit ticket."

At that moment he stood up abruptly and began pacing across the room like a madman.

"But now... this," he hissed. "This can’t be coincidence. No... The person who just converted the investment into shares, they’re not just some stranger. No way. They must be linked to The Victor somehow. That’s why I didn’t get the contract from the victor. This was coordinated. This was planned."

At that moment he turned quickly toward Emily, who was now standing with her arms folded, clearly alarmed by how shaken James looked.

"This doesn’t add up," he muttered again.

Emily didn’t need to hear more. Her voice was firm, eyes sharp. "Then call a board meeting."

Hearing what Emily just said James blinked at her.

"Call a full board meeting immediately," she repeated. "If this person is now holding shares in the company—especially 70%—they will show up. That kind of power doesn’t stay in the shadows. They’ll want to assert it, and that will give us our answer. We need to find out who it is, and fast."

James nodded slowly at first, then with more certainty.

"Yeah," he said with clenched teeth. "You’re right. That’s exactly what I’m going to do."

He grabbed his phone and barked into it with finality, "Get the board ready. I’m calling a full boardroom meeting."
